Citizen Series 8 890

The Citizen Series 8 890 is praised for its excellent case finishing relative to its price, a smooth internal bezel action, and 200 meters of water resistance achieved without a screw-down crown. It features a textured blue dial with a checkered pattern and uses the Miyota 9051 automatic movement, which reviewers note often performs better than its stated -10/+20 seconds per day accuracy. Some find its design heavily influenced by popular luxury sports watches, and its lug-to-lug measurement can make it wear large. One reviewer suggested the internal bezel's knurling could be more pronounced for improved grip. On balance, reviewers find the Citizen Series 8 890 a compelling and robust sports watch, particularly for its finishing and water resistance at its price point.
